“how long was i asleep…?”

takemi rubbed her eyes, fishing her phone out of her pockets and almost dropped it when she saw how late it was. the clinic had opened four hours ago! yet she had been asleep all that time.

stumbling onto her feet, he tried to force herself to wake up quickly. she couldn't just sit around here! and as she rushed out of the office, she stumbled right into your arms…

“mrs. takemi, you're awake–!”

you smiled softly, as you gently held her close. takemi cleared her throat, a bit flustered about bumping into you like this. she was your boss after all, so she had to keep her dignity.

“i know what you're about to ask, but don't worry– i've been taking care of your patients for today! i know i'm just an assistant, but there weren't any cases that required your help today. besides, i figured you really needed some sleep…”

as much as she hated to admit it, you were right. takemi wouldn't have fallen asleep at her desk if she wasn't tired. but that didn't mean she'd use that as an excuse to repeat such unprofessional behavior again.

“oh, there's one more thing–!”

before takemi could react, you rushed into the small kitchen of the clinic, returning with a bento box and a coffee.

“i had some free time earlier today and made you this! the coffee is cold again, but i can heat it up again, while you eat breakfast!”

you smiled, as you handed the bento box over to takemi. she opened the lid, sneaking a peek inside, only to see the vegetables cut into little hearts. even she couldn't help but smile softly.

“i know i don't say this a lot, but i'm glad you're here”

takemi gave you a peck on the cheeks, before taking the coffee out of your hands.

“after i had breakfast, we'll need to talk about a salary raise for you… and maybe some other things too~!”
